Weight Watchers Lemon Blueberry Protein Bites
These soft, cheesecake-like protein bites are packed with protein, naturally sweet, and perfect for a low-point snack or dessert.
Makes: 12 bites
Points: Approximately 1 Point per bite (may vary slightly depending on your protein powder)
Ingredients
- 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
- ¾ cup quick oats
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup fresh blueberries, finely chopped
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener or preferred zero-calorie sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Glaze (0 Points)
- 2 tbsp powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 1-2 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
Transfer the cottage cheese to a bowl and add:
- Quick oats
- Vanilla protein powder
- Lemon zest
- Lemon juice
- Sweetener
- Vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Mix thoroughly until everything is combined.
Step 3: Add Blueberries
Gently fold in the chopped blueberries. Crushing a few berries is fine—it adds extra flavor throughout the bites.
Step 4: Chill
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb moisture and makes the mixture easier to roll.
Step 5: Form the Bites
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Roll into balls with slightly damp hands.
Step 6: Final Chill
Place on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Optional Lemon Glaze
Mix powdered sweetener with lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle lightly over the chilled bites.
Storage
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
